Many pieces of memorabilia from Apple's early days and Steve Jobs' life and career are now being auctioned.
They include a poem Jobs wrote in a classmate's high school yearbook, candid photos of him in college, and an autographed note to a 6-year-old.
Take a look at some of the relics.
Several pieces of memorabilia from Apple's early days are currently up for auction.
The auction, called "The Steve Jobs Revolution: Engelbart, Atari, and Apple," is listed on RR Auction. It ends on March 17.
The auction includes relics from late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs' life and career, such as autographed notes, candid shots of him as a college freshman, his early business cards, and even a poem he wrote in a high school classmate's yearbook in 1971.
Here's a closer look at some of the memorabilia now up for auction.
There's a rare Apple check from 1976 in the amount of $3,430 for Apple-1 parts. It's signed by Jobs and fellow Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak.
Jobs' application for employment at Atari is also up for auction.
The auction features several relics signed by Jobs, including this copy of the premiere issue of Macworld magazine from February 1984 that shows him on the cover.
The auction has a handful of Jobs' early business cards, including this one believed to date back to 1978 or 1979 ...
... and this one, in color, from around 1983.
There's also this card with Buzz Lightyear from Jobs' tenure at Pixar.
Jobs had written his phone number and license plate on the back of the card to exchange with a woman after she accidentally rear-ended his Mercedes sedan in the early 1990s, according to the letter of provenance accompanying the card.
One of the lots in the auction features a note Jobs wrote to a 6-year-old in 1982 at the request of the boy's father.
He wrote: "When I was 6 years old we didn't have computers. You're lucky. Keep learning about computers and how they are going to help us communicate with each other. You are our future."
